I am having an issue with Outlook 2007. Whenever I get a brand new
message, it takes a Single click to open it (it is usually a double
click). When the messages is no longer new, it requires a double click
to open it.

I have been unable to find an option in Outlook itself to modify this,
and on-line answers only point to changing my actual mouse from single
to double click. My mouse works fine outside of Outlook, as far as
single/double clicking is concerned...any ideas??? thank you for your
time and effort.
 
is the message highlighted in blue when you single click and gray or white
when you double click? do you have any addins installed?

The message looks like a normal incoming/new message...bold blac
writing, until you single click it once, the window opens up ful
screen, afterwards...it is no longer bold (the message is now rea
instead of unread)...no add-ins that I know of...

Thank you for the respons
 
I had the same issue in Outlook 2002. I closed outlook, ran scanpst.exe (run
a search on your hard drive to find it, it should be there) on the personal
folder file *.pst in use, which repaired the error. I also compacted the pst
file, which I don't think was what helped, but it may have been. Outlook is
now functioning normally.
